I e-mailed them with a million questions last year when applying. here's the official scoop:



No, the school will not return anything you send them. If you have not yet sent your original diploma to be apostilled, then you should know that the original is not required. You can get a notarized photocopy of your original diploma and send that to be apostilled. You must send the original apostilled FBI background check to Korea in order to get your visa confirmation number. Once you have received your visa confirmation number, then you would need to apply for your actual visa stamp with us.

You can bring your documents to our office in-person without an appointment. Our office hours are Monday- Friday, 9am to 5pm. An interview is not required. If you would like to pick-up your visa when it�s ready, you do not need to include a pre-paid envelope.
